Terminal D of Berlin's Schönefeld Airport was shut down and evacuated for an hour on Tuesday when employees saw a "suspicious" item in a luggage bag.

The item was not a bomb, but a vibrator.

However, likely embarrassed, the offending passenger said the bag contained "technical stuff" when questioned by police.

The news has spread and spurred some fairly comical Twitter responses.

A bag of sex toys shut down an entire terminal at a Berlin airport earlier this week.

According to CNN, one of the sex toys in the bag, which contained various items including a vibrator, was mistaken for a bomb when the bag went through the X-ray scanner at Berlin's Schönefeld Airport on Tuesday.

Federal police in Berlin said employees spotted "suspicious content in a luggage piece," issued an alert, and terminal D was shut down and evacuated around 11 a.m. while police investigated the bag.

When the owner of the bag was called over the loudspeaker and asked about its contents, CNN reported that he told police it contained "technical stuff" and was reluctant to reveal more (likely because he was embarrassed).

According to RT, the offending passenger, who chose to remain anonymous when contacted by the site, said on social media that when police asked for his name and checked his passport, "several armed police swarmed me with automatic weapons," and he was led to another area where he was watched by a member of a bomb squad.

"After 60 tense minutes, [the member of the bomb squad] returned laughing," the passenger said.

"The hand grenade was in fact a vibrator from Ann Summers that my girlfriend and I had purchased two weeks previous."

The terminal re-opened around 12 p.m.

The news has spread like wildfire, spurring some fairly comical responses on Twitter.
